Chapter 916: Etiquette Collapses
After Zhuxia entered the Warring States period, the classical era had already been ended, and it entered the stage of uncompromising means and doing everything to achieve the goal.
"It's like this internally, and it's ...... externally," Ran Min mocked unabashedly: "How can it be done if it's not excessive." ”
If you say it so bluntly, then everything you say is wrong, and you will inevitably be considered hypocritical, and everyone will fall into a state of speechlessness.
"Speak." Ran Min was silent when he saw that everyone was weird: "Could it be that Min is wrong?" ”
It's because I'm right that people are speechless.
Since the beginning of the Warring States period, Zhuxia has entered the circle of "soldiers, treacherous people", who fought according to the classical code of etiquette, has been ridiculed for more than 2,000 years, and may continue to be ridiculed.
The ridiculer will not know that the rites and faithfulness have been chosen to be thrown into the grave since then, and that those who uphold the faithfulness and the promise have become a rare breed that needs to be written about.
The more rare things are, the more qualified they will be, or everyone breathes air, and some people are serious and serious...... And should we also be cautious about protecting those who breathe the air in all aspects?
Faithfulness and commitment used to be the most basic human virtues, but it has gradually become a code of conduct that needs to be deliberately advocated and respected, and finally it is not even bound by the law.
After the Qin Empire, Ji Bu got an idiom of "a thousand gold and a promise" just because he valued the promises he made, does it mean that people like Ji Bu who value promises have become a minority.
If everybody values promises, what about going to Tidb alone?
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was an era of etiquette collapse and happiness, which was recognized by everyone, and even the old Liu family, who had created a new new empire, openly admitted it.
There was a time when the Han people wanted to pick up what they had discarded in the past, but they didn't succeed, and they made a monster called Confucianism.
Confucianism has conducted a very serious study on whether or not to promote faithfulness, and they have studied and studied to come to a conclusion that only those who are considered to be their own people are worthy of preaching faithfulness, and those who do not consider themselves to be their own people in their hearts can use any means...... Including pretending to be good friends and then happily stabbing the knife.
In terms of the relationship between the state, Confucianism is generally divided into two schools.
One school believes that except for the Chinese, any other race can only be regarded as animals, and people do not need to talk to animals about righteousness, and animals just accept the drive.
There is another school of thought that we are human beings, so we should not take care of any animals, and just live a good life behind closed doors. Therefore, there should be no communication or discussion, and what should be done about whether or not we should hold faith or something.
Later, there is a new extension, even one's own people are divided into two kinds, one is the person who can absorb his own person, and the other is the person who only needs to have animal instincts.
There is nothing else, it is nothing more than that the scholars have to be drawn together, and the more ignorant the people, the better.
After Confucianism became a behemoth, there was no shortage of upright people, but it was generally thought that reading would be stupid, especially after "only meanness can succeed" became the motto of those who want to do great things, too many people without a bottom line have repeatedly succeeded, so that subsequent people know what the reality of society is.
Those who have succeeded in doing great things, they know how they have achieved success, they know that they can't let people learn from themselves, and they have begun to prohibit others from doing the same, and advocate all kinds of beauty.
"The ancestors have passed away, and we will continue to work hard." Huan Wencai doesn't care about the society, he only knows how to make relevant regulations, and whoever crosses the line will get the punishment he deserves: "The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Han Dynasty continued?" ”
What Huan Wen said here is to build a society ruled by law, and each stratum has its own constraints.
Liu Yan understood what Huan Wen wanted to express.
It can be said that Zhuxia was on the right track in BC, but it still needs to be improved again and again.
The old Qin State emphasized the law, but the criminal law was too cruel, and he cut off his hands, feet, nose, ears, and face at every turn. But if there is no violation of the Qin law, no matter how harsh the Qin law is, what does it have to do with the good people?
After the Qin Empire, Zhuxia entered the stage of human rule, and the existence of the law is a supplement, what the leader says is right, even if it is wrong, it is right, and once it is really wrong, it is only because there are greater leaders who say it is wrong.
In fact, the current Han state is also like this, generally maintaining the operation of the state according to the law, but if there are enough people in power to interfere in a certain matter, the law will also stand aside.
"Minister......" Wang Meng needs to stand up at this time: "When you go to the world, what you see and hear is slightly different from that of the Han Dynasty. ”
Wang Meng has not yet been assigned a new assignment, and Liu Yan was personally named to participate in the small court meeting, in order to let him tell what he had seen and heard.
"All nations have their own national conditions, but they attach great importance to national credentials." Wang Meng's statement explains why Rome and Sasanid entered into a new alliance: "In the case of Great Qin and Sasanian, if the two countries sign their credentials, they will abide by the war. ”
Liu Yan has an impression of those things.
It's not about how good the crooked nuts are overall, it's the environment that makes them understand how important credibility is.
For example, Europa, which has been divided into dozens or hundreds of countries, as long as it can mix with the status of a regional power, even the most discredited king, they will not strictly implement the terms of the literal agreements signed between countries, but they will not regard the signing of national credentials as child's play.
At present, in Rome and Sassanid, no one cares about what the people are doing, and no one cares how the government treats the people at home, but the contracts signed between countries in the form of states will be observed.
Liu Yan still knew that except for Zhuxia and some countries that were not qualified to participate in the game, the classical era of Europa and Central Asia and West Asia continued, the classical era of Europe and Rome was ended by the Mongols, and the classical era of Central Asia and West Asia ended at the hands of the Arabs.
With Wang Meng's introduction, Lu Yi continued his own elaboration.
Julian and Xeias didn't say that they didn't communicate with their country, they came up with the idea as envoys, and the three powerful countries of the world came together to dominate the world together.
"Can the widow understand that Daqin and Sasanid invited Dahan to divide the world?" Liu Yanjian and Lu Yi were stunned, and he couldn't help laughing, and after laughing for a while, he said to Lu Yi: "The pawn can continue to negotiate with him." ”
Divide the world? So whether it is time to demarcate a sphere of influence, Liu Yan would like to see how the Romans and Persians delineate it.
"Your Majesty." Ji Chang reminded: "Should the Great Han be wary of the reconciliation between Daqin and Sasan? ”
Liu Yan laughed again, the Romans and Persians have been frightened by the Han people, and it is the established national policy of the two countries to move towards friendship, and now the Han people can't go that far, but they can act as-stirring sticks, and there are many things they can do.
